During the recent deployment of Veeam One as part of Veeam Availability Suite I met a mysterious problem during the installation.
The problems seemed to be related to Veeam Reporter Server.
Environment characteristic:
– Veeam 9.5 with Update One
– Virtual Machine in Windows AD domain
– Domain user with log on as service and local Administrator privileges
– External clustered MS-SQL Server 2012
– Database created by the installator or using the script provided by Veeam – both ways checked with the same result

After starting the installation (running as Administrator just to make sure) it was goint to Reporter Server installation and during that something was going wrong and the whole
installation was rolling back.

I wasn’t able to find anything on the Web which would be similar to my issue.
Then I tried to use a different database instanace – let’s say it was test one, with small difference – it was a standalone SQL Server beside the cluster.
And this time it worked correctly. This was really strange for my expecially in case I used the same VM, domain user, etc.

After that, guided by a Veeam Support I tried one more time installing each component separately. I mean installing first Veeam One server with WebUI option deselected.
Then using the CLI with fallowing commands I was able to successfully install Reporter and Business View.
cd /d D:\VeeamONEReporterWeb_x64.msi
cd /d D:\BV_x64.msi

During the installation of these additional components there is a wizard where is poissible to change internal database to external one.
